So nothing..........that is a bummer. I really want to find a good knitting podcast. As I mentioned I have listend to two so far and both were really more of a laundry list of the fibery doings of the podcaster.

I am looking for something that isn't so much a hey this is what I did today kind of thing. I am looking for a podcast that strives to inform but from a less "hey this is what I did" kind of approach.

I need to find one or I'll feel compelled to do one and I am sure it will ONLY make my hubby crazy.

Secret Knitter is probably not what you're looking for, but I think it's an interesting concept. I haven't listened to it yet, but what I've heard, you follow the hosts' directions, and knit what she tells you to, although you don't know what it's going to be until the end. It's hard to imagine that you can do this in one podcast. If anyone has done this I'd be interested to hear what you think. Is it fun? What did you make?

I've only been listening to podcasts for about a month, & haven't had a chance to sample very many yet. Most of the ones I've heard do have a "What's on my needles" section, but I do enjoy hearing a bit of that, just for suggestions & comparison purposes. Knitty D & the City has interviews that I've found interesting.

If you do find a podcast that's more to your liking, would you please share the name of it with us?

I am also interested in Podcast. I must admit I'm a little behind times, but my daughter got me an MP-3 player for me to use while I am in the hospital. Dec 12th I am having my 4th Hip replacement revision with a bone graft to my femur which got broken last time. I plan to listen to whatever I can find. I am new at knitting but have progressed quite a bit over the Summer. I am going to purchase new yarn to actually make myself an afgan during my recovery phase.. I've never made my self anything Ha! I don't even know where to find the knitting podcasts. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks Sharon Hope everyone one has a wonderful holiday.

I really like Cast On. Good writing, solid information, and excellent indie music sets in between.(Says the girl who only got her ipod up and running two days ago and can barely sleep for listening...)

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but my podcast, The Knitting Cook, is informative and I also share stories about my life as an American newly living in Germany, being a mom, knitting, crochet and spinning. There's also some cooking content, which is usually towards the end (in case that's not your "thing"). The show has been around for 10 months, and you can find it at http://theknittingcook.com

Also, try doing a search for "knitting" on iTunes. A whole ton of shows will come up for you to choose from. I occasionally do that, download a bunch, and decide which ones I would like to continue listening to.

I listen to Faith's podcast, and it is great! I have been inspired to knit an entrelac scarf (which you can see on my blog) I also have tried some of her recipes and they went over very well at our house. Keep up the good work, Faith!

I also enjoy Cast on, Craft Lit, Pointy Sticks, and Knitty D and the City. All can be found on itunes.

I like Cast-On a lot a lot a lot. She is ratcheting down production somewhat these days due to health issues though (and oddly enough, I'm facing the same health stuff ... I have a thyroid ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow for suspected hypothyroid ... though it hasn't knocked me flat in the same way it has hit Brenda). She can be very funny, and Franklin Habit (Panopticon) is on there fairly often. He has a real Sedaris-like wit, except much better (IMHO). However the podcast isn't primarily humorous. You can learn a lot from Cast-On, but the learning isn't mainly about techniques etc. It's more about the history / culture of knitting, which definitely works for me. And Brenda has the best music. That alone is worth the price of admission for me!

I also like Sticksandstring.com.au, and really like David. He has a very warm, accepting, gentle kind of personality and I find it very relaxing to listen to him. I'm not as keen on his musical choices as Brenda's (his are a little too new-agey to my taste), but they're OK. And after all it's his show and he gets to play what HE likes. As he would say himself, "Fair enough."

My favorite is Cast-on with Brenda Dayne. The quality of her podcasts is often astounding, and the content is at times even emotionally beautiful, and sometimes laugh out loud funny. I love the way she uses music to provide emphasis. Her podcasts are not particularly technical on how to knit. But I wish all speaking voices were as lovely as Brenda's, including some local news anchors. I look forward to hearing every new podcast she does.

I like David's Sticks and Strings, sometimes just to here his Aussie voice. But he's a pretty new knitter, and I can't say I've actually learned that much, just mosty entertained.

I've just started listening to one called Unwound. She has featured knitting tips from a professional finisher. She's an attorney and she has a nice thoughtful, relaxing style.

Ready Set Knit is from Barb and Steve Elkins, who have Webs in Northampton MA, one of my favorite LYS, and maybe one of the biggest. They had knitting tips, knitalongs, interviews, and I liked this one a lot. This is an actual local radio show also available in podcast form.

Every time I've listened tried listening to Lime and Violet, they just seemed too chatty for the mood I was in. Maybe because they had a lot of sock talk, and I don't knit socks...

Have you checked out Tanya's new podcast? She breaks down what's wrong with a baby sweater with a few expletives and the voice of a therapist. Look under her February 19 post.http://tanyasglass.squarespace.com/

A fairly new podcast that is highly educative is "Unwound." Subscribe via iTunes. Ever since her first podcast she's attracted a solid, and growing, listenership. (I just registered today so I don't know if Unwound has been discussed in this forum or not.)

I am also in search of informational podcasts and so far have only found Cast-On and Unwound to fit that bill.

(On another note, try "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" a topical/political quiz show on NPR that is broadcast weekly --lots of dry humor in the show.)
